hadeon··on Ask HN: CI and Tests for Personal Project
If it's likely to save you time, either now or in the future, then it's probably a good idea to use.

Saving time is a good metric because it subsumes so much else.

1. Bugs = time 2. Features = time 3. Refactoring = time

This is great! Very well done.
hadeon··on Ask HN: Job hunting remotely, looking for tips and to avoid potential pitfalls
Hi,

I just went through the same process - moving to London from New Zealand. I found that I had the most success when I directly applied to companies that I had a very very close fit with, rather than the more generic jobs. My feeling for more general jobs was that the companies weren't really interested in putting the time in if they couldn't meet me in person - but for jobs where I was a good fit they went out of their way to make it easy for me to interview.

I would recommend just picking a random company and putting some effort into an application for them, then rinse and repeat.

Ha whoops, thank you for noticing this -- I've updated the answer.

That's actually why I made it so nothing happens after you answer a question. Ideally you open a tab and every now and then you take a minute or so to think one over and answer.

You're absolutely right, thanks for noticing this. There was also a bug with the parentheses I hadn't caught.
hadeon··on Show HN: Astro-Bot – A programming question with every new tab
Great suggestion - I'll add an option to disable that.

Scores will be coming in the next few days. I'm also planning on adding an (opt-in) leaderboard so you can see how you compare to other people.

Is a leaderboard something that would appeal to you?

Thank you, it's fixed now.

hadeon··on Show HN: Kyoko – Manage anxiety with a simple tool
Thanks - that's good to know. I'll add some more information tonight.

For reference Kyoko is designed to help people understand their own anxiety by simply being open and honest about it. It can be used anonymously (so the thoughts you write disappear immediately) or you can sign in and your thoughts are saved. I plan on adding a link to see what you've written in the past.

hadeon··on Algorithmia – Open Marketplace for Algorithms
This is really great! Being able to deploy without installing anything + having the pricing set per API call is exactly what I've been needing.
